The person who used to have my office phone line is in deep trouble.
I've had phone calls asking for him and asking if he is still affiliated with the company. Most of them credit card collectors disguising themselves as someone else.
Case in point:
me: Hello, Good morning!
caller: Hello is Mr _________ around?
me: I'm sorry but you have the wrong number.
caller: This is the Canadian embassy. I am looking for Mr _________.
me: I'm sorry but I don't know a Mr ________.
caller: This is the number that he indicated in application. Who is this? *getting annoyed*
me: Ma'am, I'm sorry but I don't know a Mr. _______. If he had indeed worked for the company, I have no information if he is still affiliated with us.
caller: Who is this? I need to get your name. *mataray mode*
me: Ma'am, I don't think you need my name. I don't know a Mr. _________ and I think you are crossing over the line of politeness. Thank you for calling.
She thinks I don't remember her. She called around 8AM this morning, looking for the same person. She told me that she is from Standard Charter and now she's from the Canadian Embassy? The same tone of voice the same intonations when speaking. Super coincidental if she is not the same caller.
I wonder what he did. Why they are calling him. A couple of months back I had to fend off several calls from Citibank.
